Synopsis Adam, Anthony, Davin, Ed, Jesus, Kai, Leon, Matt, Miguel and Taylor are the remarkable dancers who were handpicked from open auditions by Balletboyz, Michael Nunn and William Trevitt, to star in this explosive feast of live dance fused with film and behind the scenes footage. The Talent is a mixed programme of four works that show off the full range of these exceptional dancers. The evening will feature in-demand choreographer Paul Roberts haunting ensemble work, Alpha, and one of Balletboyz signature pieces, Russell Maliphant s Torsion re-worked as a thrilling sextet. Completing the line-up will be two brand new commissions.
